Cerebras-GPT 13B needs ~21.5 GB but RX 7700 XT 12GB only has 12.0 GB. Try a smaller quantization or lighter model.
Operating mode
Interactive favors responsiveness, while light API and scale-out lean harder on serving readiness. The fit stays the same, but the recommendation lens changes.
Current mode
Balanced
Balanced for general local use. Keeps the ranking neutral across personal and serving workflows.

Usable VRAM is the main blocker for this model.
Not enough usable memory
The model needs 21.5 GB, but this setup only exposes 12.0 GB of usable VRAM.
Add more VRAM headroom
The first useful upgrade is more dedicated VRAM so you can fit the model without shrinking context or dropping to a much lower quant.

No, Cerebras-GPT 13B requires more memory than RX 7700 XT 12GB provides.
Cerebras-GPT 13B (13B parameters) requires approximately 21.5 GB of memory with Q5_K_M quantization.
The recommended quantization for Cerebras-GPT 13B is Q5_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
On RX 7700 XT 12GB, Cerebras-GPT 13B achieves approximately 6.2 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 31267ms using Q5_K_M quantization.
For coding workloads, Cerebras-GPT 13B on RX 7700 XT 12GB receives a F grade with 6.2 tok/s and 4K context.
On RX 7700 XT 12GB, Cerebras-GPT 13B can safely use up to 4K tokens of context. The model's official context limit is 131K, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
Add more VRAM headroom. The first useful upgrade is more dedicated VRAM so you can fit the model without shrinking context or dropping to a much lower quant.
